More NM Political Ads

Great schools, with early education for every child.
Clean energy jobs from all this wind and solar.
And a minimum wage that pays $10.10 an hour.

Then, this morning the John Wertheim for State Treasurer campaign released one: and he "went negative on his primary opponent Former state Sen. Tim Eichenberg

John Wertheim, the real Democrat for Treasurer.
